Chapter 256: Meeting Sato Again
Chapter 257: Meeting Sato Again

"Wow, Xiaoxun, you are amazing. You actually got Sister Yuanzi to buy you so many delicious foods." A week later, on Friday, at the doctor's house, the children stuffed snacks into their mouths and kept asking me. "How did you do it? Recognize the murderer?"

"There's nothing I can do. His flaws are too obvious." I shrugged. "I just accidentally threw a teacup and hit the prisoner's wrist, saving Sister Sonoko. So to thank me, she bought me so much food and invited me to her house."

"Wow... I'm so lucky to be a guest at the Suzuki Zaibatsu's house. I wonder how much eel rice I can eat there?"

"Forget it, Yuantai, it's already a sufficient reward that Sister Sonoko can give me such delicious food. It would be inappropriate to bother you further." I said with a wry smile.

"That's right, but thank you anyway, Xun, for sharing these foods with us." Mitsuhiko thanked.

"I can't eat so much by myself. Besides, isn't it fun to share with friends?" I said dignifiedly. "Anyway, don't be polite. Enjoy it to your heart's content."

A week ago, when we were in Izu, after Kyogoku Shin solved Mikyou Masahiko, the local Yokomizo police officer took him away. In the police station, Mikyou also confessed that he was the murderer who killed the brown-haired girl a year ago. As for targeting Sonoko, one reason was that her hair color was also brown, and the other was that when he committed the crime yesterday, he suspected that Sonoko's camera had captured the scene of his crime. That's why he took the opportunity to approach her. After these words were said, Sonoko slapped Mikyou in the face, but even the police did not dissuade such behavior. It can be seen that the police were a little bit disappointed with Mikyou's reasons. And because I blocked the knife that stabbed Sonoko. To express her gratitude, Sonoko pulled a cart of snacks, toys, clothes and so on for me. In fact, I don't care about the way Sonoko expressed her gratitude. After all, my current identity is just a child. Giving some expensive things is inappropriate. But snacks and so on, I really don't like them that much, so I just let the children solve it.

"By the way, Xiaoxun, our garden party is next week. We want to perform a stage play, Kamen Rider's Confession of Love. You should come and participate too." Ayumi suddenly remembered.

"Um... I'm not interested, you guys just play." What is Kamen Rider? To me, I've only heard of it but never seen it. The kids may know Kamen Rider very well, but I... I just seem to know what he looks like? The plot and the characters...

"No, we have to participate as a group." Ayumi reminded. Hearing this, I turned my head to look at Shiho who was reading a magazine. However, Shiho's eyes did not leave the magazine. She felt my gaze and shrugged to indicate that she would also participate. In this regard, I had to compromise and agreed to the children's request.

"Hey, I'll go." I waved my hand. "But I won't be participating in any performances. I'll just be your on-site assistant."

"Stage management? What is that?" Yuan Tai asked.

"They are the people who are responsible for work other than filming." Mitsuhiko explained.

"Huh? What is Kaoru going to do then?"

"Um... probably just serving you tea and water, giving you snacks or something like that?" I scratched my face with my fingers and said awkwardly. "Anyway, it's something outside the play. Haha, good luck with the performance." The children didn't complain about my laziness, because in their minds, they had already formed a picture of themselves standing on the stage performing, and Xun waiting beside them with snacks. That picture was so beautiful.

So, on the afternoon of the second day, the children came to an abandoned building next to an art gallery as promised. I have to admire the courage of these children. There is a high possibility that homeless people are lurking in such an abandoned building. If they really encounter homeless people, these children will be in danger. Although Conan is here.

"It's absolutely true. She has gradually sensed your true identity." In the abandoned building, Shiho read her own dialogue calmly, and added a little bit of the special emotions that she once had in the organization. "If you still want to continue to lie to her, it is completely meaningless and will only hurt her more and more."

"..But. Why are you telling me this?" Conan pretended to act. But at this moment, he could not remain calm, after all, the one he was acting against was Huiyuan, and her boyfriend was sitting on the carpet beside him, drinking tea. If the emotional scene was deepened, Conan was really afraid that he would be torn apart by Kaoru.
"There is no way, because although your eyes full of justice can see through the evil heart, you still cannot understand a woman's heart."

"A woman's heart?"

"That's right, a woman's heart." Shiho smiled. "In fact, she has fallen in love with you since the day she met you. Haha, you haven't noticed it yet, right? Kamen Rider."

"this..."

"Ka! Ka! Ka!!!" After Conan showed a surprised expression, Mitsuhiko on the side shouted loudly with a small speaker. "That won't work, Conan. You have to act more surprised!" Mitsuhiko said. "This scene is about a female spy who betrayed the evil organization and took the initiative to confess her love to Kamen Rider. This is the most shocking scene."

"But, it's just a show at a garden party, right? At least you have to perform some roles that are relatively familiar to the public, such as the well-known Momotaro or Ichisun Hoshi."

"How could such a clichéd and untrue phone call story be published?"

"That's right, I had to endure for a long time before I reluctantly agreed to play the role of the Sweet Potato Demon. What's there to be picky about you, the actor of Kamen Rider?" Yuan Tai said dissatisfiedly. "Xun, don't you think so?" After saying that, Yuan Tai did not forget to turn around and ask for my opinion.

"Hmm? Gugu... um... yeah, that's it." I said while swallowing the snacks I brought with me. "It's rare that everyone is so enthusiastic about the performance. Conan, you can't let me down."

"Hehehe... You really are talking without any pain in your waist. You, who don't even participate in the performance, have no right to criticize me." Conan narrowed his eyes and muttered to me.

"Don't forget that everyone is now passionately investing in the role. You can't change the entire plot just because of your own ideas. You have to follow the pace of the public~" I didn't care at all about Conan's complaints.

"That's right." Mitsuhiko agreed. "I found this abandoned building just to give you that Kamen Rider feeling. Don't let everyone down."

"Well, since it's an abandoned building, why not play a police story?" Conan, who was desperate not to play Kamen Rider, changed everyone's mindset. "This kind of story is more realistic, and this kind of environment is just the right setting for the story. For example, a criminal suddenly escapes to an abandoned building, and then finds that there is no way out, so he fights with the criminal police..."

Bang!
"stop!"

Before Conan could finish his words, the door at the entrance was slammed open, followed by a female voice shouting something.

"Stop, put your hands up!" Looking closely, the person who opened the door was a man with handcuffs on both hands, with panic written all over his face, and followed by a policeman, and everyone knew this policeman, Sato Miwako, who had met her several times before. At this time, she was pointing her pistol at the back of the prisoner, ready to fire at any time.

"Eh? Isn't this the big-breasted sister?" I looked up and asked subconsciously. "Hey? Xiaoxun? Why are you here?" Sato was also stunned when he saw us here, but it was this brief distraction that gave the handcuffed man an opportunity, because there were hostages around him that could be easily captured, and the one closest to him happened to be the one who was completely defenseless... me.

"Don't come over here!" The man picked me up and shouted at the same time. "If you come over here again, I will throw this child to death!"

"Oops!"

"Oops!"

Two voices shouted at the same time, one from Sato and the other from Conan. Sato's words were the result of his careless distraction, while Conan... was obviously worried about the man who held me hostage. Damn it, why did you hold someone who is scarier than the police hostage? Conan was sweating coldly while thinking. It seemed that he had foreseen the next scene. The man would at least break several bones.

"Don't come over here! Don't move!" The man said as he backed away. Then he carried me upstairs.

"What? What's going on?" Conan was confused. "Xun didn't do anything? Is this his style?"

"Yeah, because the man seemed to have said something to Kaoru just now." Shiho said on the side. "I saw his lips seemed to move. But Kaoru blocked part of it, so I couldn't read it." Shiho shrugged, "But Kaoru is definitely safe, you don't have to worry about that."

"Who would worry about him? I'm worried that the criminal will be taken to a deserted place and beaten to death by Kaoru!" Conan said, holding his forehead, then followed Sato's steps and chased after him.

On the other hand, why didn't I do anything when I was held hostage by this man? That's because when he picked me up, I wanted to break his fingers and then knock him down, but just a few seconds before I did it, the man suddenly begged in my ear in a very low voice.

"Little brother, I'm sorry, please help uncle."

"Hmm?" Hearing this, I stopped my hands from exerting force. "Oh." I stopped talking and let the man hold me. I left the hall because from the trembling voice just now, I could tell that the man was really begging me, and he really didn't use any force when holding me hostage, for fear of hurting me. I could get away from him with just a little struggle. However, I was more interested in what the man had done to make this busty policewoman chase me here. So I didn't struggle and let the man hold me and continue to flee upwards.

"I say, what crime have you committed that this policeman chased you here?" I asked on the way with a calm face, without any emotion that a hostage should have.

"Ah?" The man was stunned. He didn't expect me to ask this out of the blue. "Uncle, uncle was framed by someone. But now uncle has something he must do immediately, so he must not be arrested now. Little brother, thank you for helping uncle. I'm sorry for giving you such an unpleasant memory."

"Oh, it's okay, keep running up." I said nonchalantly. Normally, I should have captured him and handed him over to the police, but that was what Conan was used to doing. As a mortal enemy of the police, I was not that kind. But this man was holding me hostage. If he had held other children hostage, he would have definitely fallen to the ground in the hall just now and been taken away by Officer Sato. And I guess his bones would have been slightly damaged.

Holding me, this man ran to the roof of this abandoned building. Of course, if it were me, I would definitely choose to take hostages and run down. However, this man should not have committed any crime before running up. Otherwise, if he went down, he could go anywhere.

"Damn it, there's no way out."

"Just jump over there." I pointed at the building opposite and said after looking at the distance.

"Haha, little brother, you are really calm." The man was slightly relieved after hearing what I said. "But I think I'll stop here. As expected, I shouldn't run away. I should explain it properly. Thank you, little brother." As he said that, the man put me on the ground.

"Well, although I'm glad you're willing to turn yourself in, you'd have carried me for so long in vain, and my nature would have been wasted." I complained. "The distance from here to the building opposite is about five meters. It's a bit difficult for you to run and jump, but there's always a way out. There's a ladder over there, you can try it." I pointed to the ladder standing next to me.

"Huh?" The man was obviously stunned by what I said. But he didn't care about that, and ran to the edge of the building with the ladder. "Thank you, little brother. I will come back to explain after uncle finishes his work. Thank you!"

"Alas... a naive person." Facing the man who had already started working hard to build the bridge, I couldn't help but shake my head.

"Xiaoxun!" Sato and Conan had already caught up with me while I was watching the man's movements. "Xiaoxun, are you okay?" Sato asked about my situation immediately, which made me feel relieved. He was indeed a good policeman who cared more about the safety of the hostages.

"Oh it's all right."

"Where is that person?"

"Over there." I pointed in the direction of the man. Sato looked up and saw the man climbing up the ladder towards the building opposite.

"What?" Sato was also surprised by the courage of the criminal. But he still chased after him. It was too late. A few meters away, the criminal had already reached the opposite building and threw the ladder down.

"Damn it!" Officer Sato stood on the edge of the fence and observed the surrounding situation.

"Just jump over." I laughed coldly as I stood aside. Actually, this distance shouldn't be a problem for Sato. As long as she grabbed the wall on the other side, climbing up wouldn't be a problem. But Sato was wearing a professional OL suit, and the tight skirt made it impossible for her to jump up. Unless, she took off the skirt.

"Hmph!" Sato glanced at me, then stood on the fence and rushed towards the drainpipe on one side. She jumped up, bit her gun in her mouth, and grabbed the flared end of the drainpipe with both hands. Then she gained balance with one hand, grabbed the gun with the other hand, and broke the welding point of the drainpipe. The whole water pipe was bent down because of her own weight, and finally, Sato landed steadily on the external steps of the opposite building. This whole set of movements was so smooth that the children could not help but be stunned.

"Oh? This girl is quite good." This was the first time I gave Sato a positive comment. Well, except for her nice breasts.
